President Bola Tinubu has taken a significant step towards addressing the funding challenges facing the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) by exempting the agency from the Treasury Single Account (TSA).

The move paves the way for the FCTA, led by Governor Nyesom Wike, to use the internally generated revenue of the territory to fund its development.

In a press conference held in Abuja on Friday, Governor Wike also announced that the President has approved the creation of the FCT Civil Service Commission, which will allow for the career progression of the agency's staff.
